Preventative Health Examinations

We offer our patients preventative health examinations (“PHEs”) at regular intervals to ensure they receive appropriate screening. You will be asked to have your screening tests done before your appointment so your doctor can review the results with you.

For patients with complex or chronic medical problems, the PHE may include a dedicated visit with a nurse who specializes in preventative health care, to help develop strategies for sustainable lifestyle changes including weight loss, nutrition, exercise, improved mental health, and smoking cessation. Your combined total time with your nurse and doctor for a complex PHE may be an hour or more.

All PHEs include a complete physical examination by your physician, a review of your test results, and if necessary the development of an individualized follow-up plan.

Prescribing Policies

The Moose & Squirrel Medical Clinic follows evidence-based guidelines for all prescriptions, including antibiotics, narcotics and medications for stress-related conditions.

Uninsured Services

The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan pays for many of the services you receive from your doctor.

However, the government plan does not cover certain “uninsured services”. Some are billed to lawyers, government agencies or others. Some are billed to you. You or a third party (such as your employer, insurance company or school) may request a letter, report, or form, from your physician.

These services require the time and expertise of your doctor and staff. As a result, you or the third party will be billed a fee to cover these costs.

Your doctor will discuss any fee with you before providing an uninsured service. Payment will be expected when you receive the service. To make other payment arrangements, please talk with your doctor or the staff.

We accept cash, cheques or debit or credit cards.

The following is a list of uninsured services for which this clinic may bill you. These fees are assigned as per the recommendations of the Alberta Medical Association and are subject to change.

New Patients

At this time, we are accepting patients to our family practice who do not have a local family physician in Sundre, but who are needing a local Medical Home.

All new patients at Moose & Squirrel Medical Clinic will be scheduled an initial Clinic Orientation appointment with one of our nurses. This appointment is an opportunity for our nurse to become familiar with your medical history and to answer any questions you may have about our clinic and affiliation.

Once you have concluded this appointment you will be able to schedule an appointment within your new Medical Home. We are actively recruiting new permanent physicians to our clinic, so you will be temporarily assigned to one of our current family physicians until a permanent physician joins and takes responsibility for a panel of patients.

We offer the following specialized services, accessible to our patients, as well as those who are not part of our family practice:

IUD insertion
Nexplanon subdermal implant
Obesity management
Pediatric and Teen Mental Health

To access these services, if you are not a member of our clinic, a referral letter from your family physician and an initial consultation is required to determine if you are a good candidate for these services. Please call our office for more information.
